April 26 & 27: 1861 - A COMMUNITY PREPARES FOR WAR - The year is 1861 and shots have been fired on Fort Sumter. The nation is now at war. America's army was small and the call went out to all communities for volunteers to take up arms. In Missouri, the question of supporting the Union, or the newly formed Confederacy, was not as easily answered as in other areas of the country. From the first shot, this conflict spilled over into the lives of everyone. Citizens of this quiet community are being called on to leave their families and march into the service. Visitors will have the chance to speak with men and women making difficult decisions and fearing the worst, yet having to go on with the daily activities needed for maintaining and sustaining life.

May 3: FIBER ARTS & SPRING PLANTING FESTIVAL - It's Spring and as the season is welcomed in, cabins get cleaned, gardens are planted, and Boonesfield residents "turn out" after the cold winter hibernation. The event will focus on the various fiber arts and "Spring" activities experienced by folks in the early 1800s..

June 14: LOUISIANA PURCHASE DAY - The transfer of Louisiana from France to the young United States was celebrated, debated, fought over, and ultimately established the reality of a nation that reached "from sea to shining sea."

July 4: INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION - During the times of the Boone family here on the Femme Osage, Independence Day was the American holiday. Roll up all of our holidays into one big day … and you might have the same excitement as a good old-fashioned Fourth of July!

September 20 & 21: PIONEER DAYS - A pre-1840s Folkways Festival and Encampment. Artisans, music, historic encampment, and good food make this a glorious day in the beautiful Femme Osage Valley. Step into the past to experience life on the early Missouri frontier and learn about the Boone legacy.

October 25: HALLOWEEN: GHOSTS FROM THE PAST - Halloween has always been a favorite for children of all ages. Storytellers populate Boonesfield Village and share tales of ghosts, ghouls, goblins, and all of those unexplained things that go bump in the night. This event is designed as a kids friendly program but does offer true stories of experiences that are hard to explain.

December 5 & 6 and 12 & 13: ANNUAL CANDLELIGHT TOUR - Usher in the holiday season with a visit to the Boone Home & Boonesfield Village. More than a dozen buildings are decorated in 19th century fashion and are illuminated with thousands of candles, lanterns, bonfires and starlight. Period music will echo through the valley offering a simpler, more delightful holiday experience.
